I just did a quick google search and the 2nd result gave us the answer. See if it works for you:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=715062&postcount=3

Create a text file with the following code:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <video>
  <timeseekforward>15</timeseekforward>  <!-- Time to seek forward in sec - short seek.  Defaults to 30. -->
  <timeseekbackward>-15</timeseekbackward>  <!-- Time to seek backward in sec - short seek.  Defaults to -30. -->
  <timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig>  <!-- Time seek forward in sec- long seek. Def 600 (10 min). -->
  <timeseekbackwardbig>-600</timeseekbackwardbig>  <!-- Time seek back in sec - long seek. Def to -600 (10 min). -->
  </video>
</advancedsettings>

Then sftp over to you ATV2 box to the following location:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Reboot XBMC and it should read those custom values and use them. Make sure to change the values to 2/-2 if you want to skip forward/backwards only 2secs.

Thanks for all information, I finally solved the problem for use the big step but I want to use the remote exactly as the XBOX REMOTE and so I need to use the ZOOM function on the center KEY. I see that are a lot of function for ZOOM but I don't know which to use exactly. Could you help me ?

Other question : is possibile to use the XBOX REMOTE direct with the ATV2 ?

Thanks

XBMC 1 : XBOX + HD 2,5" 160Gb + Case SILVERSTONE LASCALA LC04 + Logitech Harmony ONE remote
XBMC 2 : ATV2
NAS server : CPU Intel ATOM 1,6Ghz + MB ECS 945GCT-D + 1Gb RAM + Storage 160Gb 2,5" for O.S. and 1Tb 3,5" for data + Windows XP

Thanks for the heads up, Ill look over that post and see if I can get this thing working and get back to you.

As for where I found the scroll commands, in a previous post when I was trying to figure out how to do this I was pointed to the actions page on the wiki, http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keymap.xml#Actions , and those seemed to fit my purpose accurately (of scanning up and down a zoomed in comic in the pictures module).

The atv2 won't pickup the signals from the original XBOX remote. Something about the IR receiver isn't compatible with that remote. This question has come up a few times but all that I've seen is a) it doesn't work and b) a new IR receiver would be needed.

Not sure why exactly it doesn't work... only because I don't know anything about differences in IR receivers... thought they were all more/less equal.

FYI, this messes up Navi-X a bit for me (on ATV2). It seems to see the MENU button as the LEFT button when trying to go to previous menu (i.e. when you are in a subfolder). Haven't tinkered with it much - watching a movie right now.

EDIT: Never mind - I may have imagined that. Or at least I cannot replicate it now. And it was doing it with both my white and aluminum remotes - just after I copied over the Joystick.XML file. Weird.

Sorry if I am being thick-headed here - but can someome clarify if the Learned Id's (70-78) work on ATV2 (without using nightly builds)?

I was able to make get my old TiVo remotes (love those remotes) working pretty well for XBMC. I used "Learn Remote" ONLY set up "Basic Buttons. When I used "Set up Playback Buttons" - these buttons were not functional in XBMC. What I did to get around this (after deleting all learned remotes) was to set up only "Basic Buttons" then go through Learn Remote again (as though learning a new remote), this time substituting playback buttons on the TiVo remote for up, down, left, right, select, menu. That way I ended up with a remote with functional navigation and playback keys.

Putting it in:
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml

Didn't work for me.

But editing:
/Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/system/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml

directly worked just fine.

Thanks! Smile
